Wisconsin voters are set to head to the polls on Tuesday, August 13, 2026, for the state’s partisan primary election. This election will determine which candidates will advance to represent their respective parties in the November general election.
Several key races are on the ballot, including the Democratic gubernatorial primary, where candidates will vie for the nomination to challenge the incumbent governor.
